On this past week’s episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim said she thought Indian food was disgusting. Well, that of course caused quite an uproar on the internet, which resulted in Kim K apologizing. Kim said, “So on this week’s episode of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ I said that I thought Indian food was disgusting. In NO way was this intended as an insult to the Indian people or their culture. This is just my own personal taste. There are a lot of foods I don’t like… I hate cilantro and peppers, and there are definitely some Armenian foods that I personally find disgusting, but that doesn’t reflect my opinions on other Armenian people or my culture. My comment wasn’t intended to offend anybody. We all have our own opinions and tastes and I was simply expressing mine.” 

So for the record…she likes the people, not the food…and she HATES cilantro and peppers in case anyone was wondering.

I love all the apologies Kim feels compelled to shell out based on her past behavior. She’s now apologized for her dislike for Indian food, but has she ever apologized for the real reason she’s famous…her sex tape?

    While I am NOT a Whoredashian fan by any means, I think it’s repugnant that people get their panties in a wad over the simplest of comments made by celebrities (especially if those comments pertain to food and not the race of people that created said food).

    Should I apologize to my fellow Black people because I don’t care for soul food?

    So there’s an uproar on the Internet. If there’s no uproar about something on the Internet, then you must not be connected to the Internet. Why apologize? In 5.7 seconds everybody on the Internet will be distracted by a You Tube video of a cat driving a Honda Civic.

    And I, too, could puke my guts out just by thinking of curry. So, if any people of Indian descent are offended that I don’t like their food, they can suck it. On the Internet.

    Melissa, girl, Ima belt you with a pot of collards! LOL! there’s plenty of soul food that I don’t like, either. Mostly the wild meat dishes like pigs feet and coon and chitterlings, etc. And the bean dishes…blech. Black eyed peas, succotash, etc. But then there are the dishes I LOVE and can’t get enough of…baked macaroni and cheese. oxtails, curried chickenbacks (not southern but my mom makes them), fried whiting/porgies/croaker with grits, and stewed okra and tomato soup. *drools onto keyboard*

    I used to feel the same way about Indian food..the vindaloo would be the only thing i ordered and it set my tongue on fire. Then I went on a date to this chic Indian restaurant here in NYC and it was amazing! even the appetizers; homemade naan and crispy chips with three types of dipping sauces, were nothing like I’d tasted in Indian restaurants prior. Then again, it was a bit removed from the cheap place my friends and I frequented in college where every inch of wall and ceiling was covered with chile pepper lights, a full meal was under $10, and you could get three Indian guys to perform “Happy Happy Birthday” under a disco ball if you told them you were celebrating. Sure, I may not have cared for Indian food, but i sure loved Indian restaurants!

    My friend’s MeeMaw tells this true story. She grew up in USA’s deep south. And never had any food from anywhere in S Asia till she went to college. She had it for the 1st time at her roommate’s house. And hated it. So much she’d make up all kinds of lies to keep from going back over there to eat. It tasted like eating incense to her. And made her want to throw up.

    Then 1 day about 3 weeks later she got this feeling like a dizziness passing over her. And all of a sudden she HAD to have some of that incense tasting food! The worst craving she ever had in her life. Except she wasn’t pregnant.

    She was a few yrs later though. The day of the craving she got her roommate to take her over there. And met the roommate’s brother. That ended up being my friend’s PawDada!

    Not to mention a love marriage that lasted even though it was old times and his family kept old ways. Today the MeeMaw makes biryani with black eyed peas in it that’ll make you want to slap your mama!

    Love that stawrie, Kthxy!!! I am 1/2 of a mixed marraige. The kittens and I love spicy food, the hotter the better. Hubbycat thinks catsup is spicy.

    Thing is we have lots of Asians in our building and TWO Indian restaurants downstairs. Bombay Bistro I&II. Have to wait till the kittens come home to go. I’d slap my mama anyway, but that’s a different story.

    Always knew Kim had no taste.

    I had Indian food for the first time a couple of months ago. There’s only one Indian restaurant in Tuscaloosa, but a friend of mine said it was his friend Tuscaloosa restaurant. I got it as take out and I no idea what I ordered. I was little when open the bag and saw a container full of bright orange sauce. It ended being pretty good, but I absolutely loved the bread, naan. And the people at the restaurant were so nice. My food wasn’t ready when I got there, and while I was waiting they gave me a free cup of chai tea.

    @sheesh, That’s so cool that you went there, too. That used to be our fav pre-bar/club spot if we were hanging out in the East Village. We have a part of the city that’s primarily Indian restaurants..the East side in the 20′s, called Murray Hill. The locals affectionately call it Curry Hill. There’s even a fast food joint here called Curry in a Hurry! I haven’t been there…I prefer Indian restaurants that serve three course meals and cocktails, lol.

    @kthxbai Maybe. I just picked something randomly off the menu,but the guy who took my order had a thick accent,was talking super fast and asking me a bunch a questions. So in the end I wasn’t sure what I ordered. The good thing was that I some how ended up with a bunch of naan.

    Last time we went to Curry Express Rodel asked the guy if he had any dishes with beef in them. We both gave him “I’m going to stangle you right now” looks.

    Sometimes he’s Kardashian dense.

    Beef curry! Oh Sheesh, that is sooooooooooo funny. That also sounds like a Kim K move– no offense to your friend.

    And since this whole thing is about Kimmy-Poo’s insulting Indian cuisine, discussing curry is def not off topic.

    Um, is it Nads?

    I loath Kim K but it’s absolutely ridiculous that she has to apologize for such an innocuous comment. It’s astonishing how easily some people are offended.

    It’s funny how many people in India think she looks like a B-movie Bollywood extra who’s just not pretty enough to make it in the big leagues. Now after she just insulted a whole nation that’s about as proud of its culinary heritage as she is about her ass, she’ll never even make it as a Bollywood extra.

    Huh. I guess this is a hint to me that I need apologize to my mom. I mean, my comments were in no way intended to insult her or her midwestern brothers and sisters – I just can’t stand her flavorless cooking.

    Funny we’re all talking about Indian food now – curry was my go to dish when I was on my own in college. My friends all loved coming over to my house for dinner.

    If a restaurant has a sign with the word “halal” on the menu or wall or wherever, they’ll probably have beef. Even if they don’t have it on the menu they won’t care if you ask and might have it in the back.

    If it doesn’t say halal, look at the menu and if you only see chicken lamb and seafood, don’t ask for beef.

    It’s because of religion. Hindus don’t eat beef. Muslims do. Neither 1 of those religions eats pork though. Halal usually tastes better. In a different kind of restaurant it’d say free range chicken or something.

    There are lots of other religions in S Asia but just knowing the meat rules of those 2 will keep you from being embarrassed.

    Halal food is the best!! There’s a cart chain (like a chain of restaurants only they’re food carts) called Rafiqi’s here in the city….amazing food! When I was working down the block from one, I went so often the guy knew my order by heart. “Chicken and lamb platter, lots of lettuce, not too much rice, raw onions on top, white sauce and hot sauce on everything.” *smacks lips* I went to a random halal cart in my neighborhood a few days ago. Close…but just not the same.

    You know I recall an old episode of Keeping up with the Kardashian’s where I am pretty sure they were eating Indian food. It sure as hell looked like butter chicken and naan…I know these things because I am Indian..well, half of me is anyway.

    @Dtoast She might not’ve known what it was. Maybe somebody told her butter chicken and naan come from the France part of Mexico so they don’t taste like other Indian food.

    I hate Indian food, nope not apologizing. I have nothing against Indians I’m just a picky eater. But hey I’m a Brown chick that doesn’t like MOST ‘soul food’ items. If it were healthy I would eat baked mac and cheese all day/everyday…can someone explain to me why some people(usually not Brown) put breadcrumbs on top of their baked mac and cheese. This has baffled me since I was a kid…hey you want some starch with that starch.

    I think it’s offensive only because she said “disgusting” as opposed to having more class and saying, “I don’t like Indian food,” or “I’m not a big fan.” Calling it “so disgusting” is offensive.

    Yea, Dtoast, that’s how I saw it, too. It’s one thing to say you don’t like something, but it’s something else entirely to call it disgusting. Except when you’re calling a Kardashian disgusting. Then it’s okay.

    My guess is the whole disdain for Indian food was made up for the sole purpose of inciting some controversy so she could publicly apologize. And @sagittariuskim, I’m in Tuscaloosa. Where is that Indian restaurant?
